First, I thought it was established that hotel guy = molotov man? Am I wrong? If so, this is a person for whom, until today, Russ had expressed unbridled and almost homoerotic attraction. In the book, molotov man is the only person who supports Russ unreservedly in his ongoing mission to trespass against all barriers of decency and propriety.
Second, it is by no means unprecedented for Russell to make up stories from whole cloth. I certainly agree that in normal circumstances, one is inclined to believe someone who says something that tends to go against his own character. I mean, people usually lie to make themselves look good, heroic and interesting, and certainly this is not achieved by having been involuntarily exposed to a mormon penis temporarily freed of its magic underwear, in some sordid motel somewhere. But Russell has made it fairly clear that his idea of what looks good and reputable is staggeringly different from ours, and indeed probably unknowable. Given Russell's unfortunate appearance, his tendency to lie, the fact that just yesterday he was unsuccessfully comparing himself in his Swift saga to a rape victim, and the documented heterosexuality of molotov man, I'm inclined to believe it's all bullshit.
By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if Russell regards ordinary communal bathing practices to be tantamount to exhibitionism.
It is entirely possible that this is all that occurred. Similarly, the pillowtalk could have been ordinary early-twenties guy talk ("I'd love to hit that") etc. I mean, come on. No one is hitting on Russell. And if someone ever found Russell attractive, whatever Russell's rather (ineffectively) veiled conservative views on homosexuality, he would have been crowing pridefully from the rooftops.
I didn't think think moltov=hotel dick guy was established, merely just proposed as a possibility. I mean look, we call him Moltov cocktail guy - that's how far fetched Russ's lies generally are. His lies either make him look good or make him look like a victim of horrible mean bigots/hos/bullies.
The "friend" in the book was probably a composite of people who have tolerated or listened to Russ over the last four years. Nice people who have tried to gently try to guide him off his strange lolsuit obsessions. The photo of Russ with that guy and his fiancee (with Russ creeping his hand around the back) was probably one of those people who made the "composite" friend in the book. Russ just transformed them into the "perfect" friend in his mind and added a bunch of flattering dialogue from them that never, ever happened.
The guy Russ posted about today could have also been one of the people who made up the "composite" friend too, idk.
But I do think this guy exists and Russ has hung out in shady hotel rooms with him. They both go in halves on the hotel room to save money and see if the hooker will give them a discount too. Or better, Russ pays for it all for both of them. Remember, Russ probably has a pretty bad rep with sex trade workers from SLC to Nevada. Having a buddy who would make dates with hookers was good for Russ. The guy was probably familiar with local working girls and doesn't have a speech impediment so could do the negotiation/communication with the hooker for Russ.
I doubt this happened very often, the dude would probably call up Russ when he was broke and horny knowing Russ would pony up for a hooker hotel party. Russ is desperate for anyone who might help him find hookers, even someone who wants to facetime with his dick hanging out.
My guess is the angry post had less to do with the guy not being supportive of his TS video and more the fact the guy has been generally ignoring him and not assisting him with any hooker hook-ups recently, even after repeated requests from Russ. Maybe dick-dude got a job, hasn't been broke or just got sick of Russ. Either way he's decided to stop patronizing/using Russ. Russ decided to try and shame the guy on FB because he's mad at being ignored, but in his typical way he had to make it about "not being supportive" rather than "not getting me hookers in cheap hotel rooms" to save face, but still let spill creepy details about their "friendship."
Why would you keep hanging out or facetiming with someone who dropped dong everytime you did? Especially if it bothered you. My theory is he said it happened so he could claim he endured something worse than Taylor Swift getting her ass grabbed. We saw how dismissive/disdainful he was about that case.
Nah, Russ is too macho for that, he'd never admit another man sexually harassed him. Did you see that photo of Russ on the dirtbike? He's definitely a "no homo" type of guy.
Russ wants pity, but not pity that doesn't feed into his ego narrative. If Russ was going to go with a "Me too" moment he would never build to it with this kind of subtle lead up either. He'd come right out balling and Reeeeing demanding attention for it.
I think Russ got all butt hurt his buddy has been ignoring him(i.e. not hanging out with him in hotel rooms and helping his get dates with hookers) and his little mini-rage post let out some details about his life that were news to us.
